Answer:

Passive voice

Explanation:

Whereas the active voice has a subject that performs an action on a verb, the passive voice contains a subject that is acted upon by a verb. The example above was written in the passive voice. "The pirate" is the subject in this sentence. It was acted upon by the verb "hoisted". An active form of this sentence will be, "The pirate hoisted the sails".

A past participle, a preposition, and a conjugated form of the verb, "to be", are coined to form the passive voice. The past tense of the verb, "to be"  which is "were" was coined to the past participle, hoisted. The preposition, "by" also helped in completing the meaning of the sentence.

kati45 [8]

Answer: Both poems mourn the bravery of one who has died.

Explanation:

Dunbar mourns Frederick Douglass in an elegy depicting him as "a spirit brave" who spoke "fearlessly".

Edna St. Vincent Millay´s poem is an elegy to her mother. She shares a similar message, as she highlights her deceased mother´s courage, which she showed during her entire life, and even at the time of her death.
